Four people were killed when a civilian aircraft crashed at US Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, authorities said.
The Beechcraft B60 aircraft crashed on Thursday morning in a remote area of the base, several miles from the base's main runway, spokeswoman of the base Jasmine Porterfield said, Xinhua reported.
The wreckage was discovered in a densely wooded area.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane crashed while approaching Destin Executive Airport, located across the bay from the air base.
Authorities said a probe is under way and the victims, who departed from the central state of Ohio, are yet to be identified.
